Introduction
Product Overview
The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Honeywells patented CodeGate technology, Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.

With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In addition, the laser beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense Mode), the laser beam automatically switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning and accuracy. Many standard features are included such as: user configurable Flash ROM, PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet 2 and MetroSelect configuration, and data editing (parsing).

Audible Indicators
When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line MetroSelect Configuration Guide.

One Beep On Power Up

The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.

One Beep During Operation

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the red light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Three Beeps During Operation

When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The red LED will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing. When configured for communication timeout, three beeps during operation will indicate that a communication timeout has occurred.

Three Beeps On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on page 16.

Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator or an invalid code read during configuration mode. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on page 16.

14

Visual Indicators
The MS5145 is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the scanners state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.

Figure 12. LED Color and Location

Green and Red LEDs Are Off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.

Steady Green
Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.

Flashing Green
After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will be shortened. During this time the green LED will flash. This indicates that the scanner is in a power saver mode. When a bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will wake up and return to normal pulse mode.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep. If the red LED does not flash and the scanner does not beep, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanners red LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Steady Green and Continuous Flashing Red

When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash, the green LED will turn on and the scanner will beep three times. The red LED will continue to flash and the green LED will stay on until the unit exits the configuration mode.

15

Failure Modes
One Razzberry Tone On Power Up
This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Three Beeps On Power Up

If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the non-volatile memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Troubleshooting Guide
The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a customer service representative (see page 45) to preserve the limited warranty terms.

Symptoms
All Interfaces

Possible Causes
No power is being supplied to the unit. No power is being supplied to the unit from host.

Solution
Check the transformer, the outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the unit. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power the Eclipse. A power supply may be needed.

The unit has no LEDs, beep or laser.

At power up the unit beeps two times and alternately flashes the LEDs. At power up the unit beeps three times. At power up there is a continuous razz tone. At power up there is a razz tone and the green LED flashes. At power up there is a razz tone and both LEDs flash. The unit scans, communicates and beeps twice. The unit powers up, but does not beep.

There is a ROM failure. There is a nonvolatile RAM failure. There has been a diagnostic failure.

A flash ROM upgrade is required.

Contact a customer service representative. There is a VLD failure. There is a scanning mechanism failure. The same symbol timeout is set too short. The beeper may be disabled or no tone has been selected. Adjust the same symbol timeout for a longer time.

Enable beeper and select a tone.

19

Symptoms
The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep.

Possible Causes
The unit is trying to scan a particular symbology that is not enabled. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length.

Solution
UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default. Verify the type of bar code being read has been selected. Verify the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria. The scanner defaults to a minimum of three-character bar code.

The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep.

TTL RS232 & Serial Emulation USB Interfaces The unit scans a bar code, but locks up after the first scan and the red LED stays on. The unit scans, but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect. The unit is configured to support some form of host handshaking but is not receiving the signal. The units data format does not match the host systems requirements. The bar code may have been printed incorrectly. The unit beeps at some bar codes but NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. The unit is not configured correctly for the type of bar code being scanned. The minimum symbol length setting does not work with the bar code. If the unit is setup to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF or D/E, verify that the host cable and host are supporting the handshaking properly. Verify the units data format matches that required by the host. Make sure that the unit is connected to the proper host port.

Check if it is a check digit/character/or border problem.

Check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.

Keyboard Wedge Interface The unit scans the bar code but there is no data. The units configuration is not correct. Make sure the scanner is configured for the appropriate mode.

20

Symptoms
The unit scans but the data is not correct.

Possible Causes
The units configuration is not correct.

Solution
Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify the correct country code and data format is selected. Adjust the inter-character delay symptom. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted. It may be necessary to try this in both settings. Enable the Caps Lock detect feature of the scanner to detect whether the PC is operating in Caps Lock. Try operating the scanner in Alt mode.

The unit is transmitting each character twice. Alpha characters show as lower case. Everything works except for a couple of characters. RS232 Interface The unit powers-up OK and scans OK but does not communicate properly to the host.

The units configuration is not correct.

The computer is in Caps Lock mode. These characters may not be supported by that countrys key look up table.

The com port at the host is not working or not configured properly. The cable is not connected to the proper com port. The scanner and host may not be configured for the same interface parameters. Inter-character delay needs to be added to the transmitted output.

Check to make sure the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the port match and that the configuration is looking for RS232 data. Check to make sure the unit is connected to the correct com port on the host device.

The host is receiving data but the data does not look correct.

Check the scanner and the host are configured for the same interface parameters.

Characters are being dropped.

Add some inter-character delay to the transmitted output by using the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.

Configuration and Upgrades

Configuration Modes
The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration. Bar Codes The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide. This manual is available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com. MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply point-and-click at the desired scanner options. MetroSet2 is available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com. Serial Programming This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. Serial programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.

How does Serial Configuration work? 1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx]. EXAMPLE #1: Command for Disabling Codabar Command = [stx]100104[etx] String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h (All values are hexadecimal). 2. 3. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an [ack]. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a [nak]. Note: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command will not work. The user must start over.

27

4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect until after serial configuration mode is exited. EXAMPLE #2: The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings, Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add a G as a configurable prefix.

The scanner will beep three times!

The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted three ( 3 ) that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect manual. THE THREE ( 3 ) SHOULD NOT BE SENT. IT IS A CODE TYPE DESIGNATION ONLY! For commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned (such as prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the same order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

Invalid command was sent, you must start over!

The scanner will beep three times!

This example illustrates two important points. First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning. Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.
